Overseas Connection 11 x 5 Inch African Talking Drum w/ Mallet

The Talking drum, or "dondo" as it is called in Ghana, is one of the most unusual African instruments.

You squeeze it under your arm as you strike it with your other hand using a curved beater (supplied), thereby creating an infinite range of tones. Really good musicians can mimic the tones of language and actually "talk" through the drum.

This talking drum was designed with stronger rawhide rope and more verticals than the standard drums in order to make it more durable.
